MISS CALHOUN INTERyIEwED-DID NOT COME
TO MARRY HEARST.
NEW YORK, February 1Sth.-The Herald
has the following relating to Miss Calhoun ::
On arriving in New York Miss Calhoun
was received by her relative, Captain John
c. Calhoun, grandson of the celebrated
Southern statesman. who lives with his
family at the New York Hotel. She had
called on him IN regard to the business on
which she came to America-being profes-
sional business and had received hearty
welcome TO abide with him while she re-
mained in the city. Captain Calhoun re-
ceived the reporter, with Miss Calhoun. and
assisted in carving out the common pur-
pose OF all in conducting the interview as
automatically and delicately as its nature
demanded. The lady greatly regretted that
the adventures ONE nature of her reaching
hernatiye land should have called attention
a., IN,tto lxy
had, she had already received numerous
visits from the press on the subject. She
was willing to correct the erroneous i'm
pressions that had gone abroad concerni ng
them. Her engagement to Hearst was an
indisputable fact, and had been since the
18th of last June. She did not, however,
come home for the purpose of marrying
him. She had play that had been writ
ten for her, and she was about to produce
it, and had other business which made
it. necessary for her to come to
New York. Only this and moth
ing more, was the object of her
perilous mid-winter trip. Regarding
any opposition on the part of Hearst $
friends, she said there was none, or at least
there had been none, until very lately, and
such as there was is directed not at the en-
gagement. but at its resulting in marriage
lust now, it being thought better that the
young man, Just out of college, had better
wait a while. Mrs. Hearst had been her
benefactor and her very dear friend, ano
had always received her at her home since
she first took an interest in her professional
welfare. Miss Calhoun regretted that ths
matter should have excited public inter
est, but as it had done so, she appreciated
the opportunity offered her to sci matter:
straight. She was dignified, but agreeable
in manners, and accepted the matter as ons
of the annoyances that follow the members
of her profession.
